Unless going from the pic, they did find a way to crack the code? Or maybe you still need a new PCM (maybe by them), but its comes loaded with a stock tune, and can be upgraded with there tunes, custom tunes.

Don't know why people don't get that there is not going to be a unlocked handheld. Only way to access and write calibrations is through replacing the boot loader with a non encrypted one. That means ecu needs to be physically modified. Just the way it's going to be with theses things.

Accessing the ecm and tuning it ate different things. To be able to access the calibration data ( what you modify to "tune" the car) the bootloader need to be re written with non encryted os, which necessitates opening it up, using a fixture to contact certain leads on the eeprom and flashing it with different instructions set.

This then let's you use tuning sw to read and write calibrations which are modified. IE tuned. This can be done with hptuners right now or then use canned tunes and a hand held once offered.

Bottom line you are either sending your ecu in to hptuners or buying second ecm and doing the same. I recommend the latter, which means about $900 up front before tuning.
